The concept of the blue economy and socioeconomic aspects focuses on harnessing the potential of ocean resources while ensuring long-term environmental sustainability and socio-economic development. It includes industries such as aquaculture, marine biotechnology, and renewable ocean energy, which contribute to job creation and economic growth, especially in coastal communities. As the demand for seafood and marine products grows, these industries offer significant opportunities for rural economies. However, balancing economic benefits with conservation efforts is critical. The blue economy encourages sustainable practices that reduce overfishing, pollution, and habitat degradation, ensuring that future generations can continue to rely on marine resources. Furthermore, the socioeconomic impacts of blue economy initiatives extend to improving food security, empowering local communities, and fostering resilience to climate change. By integrating both environmental and economic goals, the blue economy provides a pathway for sustainable development in marine industries.
